I'm an experienced technology executive who bridges the divide between Dev and Ops.
I help companies big and small develop and execute their technology strategy.
I am a firm believer that complexity is toxic.
There's an art to developing and implementing conceptually simple -
yet operationally and functionally robust -
solutions and with the whiteboard as my palette I have shown company after company that transformation is achievable.

Speaking

Minneapolis seems to have a lot of meetups.
With three kids my time is at a premium these days, but I'd love to be invited to speak at your event.
I probably don't have the free time to respond to your CFP unless you want to grab one of the works above.
I will, however, put time into a deck for your event if it's a fit.
Here are common topics I present on:

AWS and the cloud

DevOps

Open source

Datacenter migrations

Digital business strategy

Knowledge management

Legislative and/or corporate solutions to the student loan mess

The importance of youth, and a talent pipeline, in whatever business you think you're running

I also oblige hands-on workshop requests for the right audience and STEM competitive judging requests where possible.
